It is entirely about how much money he can throw around and how he keeps his own fan base motivated. X is still important enough just like Fox and OAN are.
You can start for ~$400 - I just bought parts for 2 drones for my kids. My shopping list:

- Flywoo Goku F405 HD 1-2S 12A ELRS AIO V2 flight controller, $64, flywoo.net

- Radiomaster Pocket radio controller, $65, radiomasterrc.com

- EAchine EV800D VR goggles, $109.81, banggood.com

- Meteor 75 frame, $5, tinywhoop.com

- 4x 40mm props, $2.25, tinywhoop.com

- BetaFPV canopy, $5, tinywhoop.com

- TinyWhoop Pinch Premium FPV camera, $20, tinywhoop.com

- 4x 702 26,000kV brushless motors, $40, tinywhoop.com

- 4x BetaFPV BT2.0 550mAH lipo battery, $31, amazon.com

- BetaFPV 1S lipo charger board, $28, amazon.com

Haven't fully soldered it together yet so I hope I'm not forgetting something important, but all the parts have arrived, and I've successfully rough-fitted everything together. The Flywoo Goku board supposedly runs both Betaflight or ArduPilot on a whoop form factor. Note also that the biggest expense are one-time items that can be reused across multiple drones: the radio controller, FPV goggles, and battery charger are $200 together. The BOM for a single drone is about $150 these days, so if you're say putting together multiple ones for multiple family members, it's pretty cheap.
My problem is that I don't want to play sports or doing a running club or any thing like that. And it isn't that I'm not willing to put in some work, it's that I want to make friends who want to do _other things_. I'm not sure how to find good public groups for people like me with the intent of finding friends for less public interests like video games, board games, books, etc.

It wouldn't be appropriate for the federal government to push any particular product. They have certified open source EHRs. It's not at all clear that increased adoption of those would improve patient outcomes.

Very interesting. Thank you for making the distinction explicit and for helping me to understand the other mindset. You are totally right, in that my mindset is closer to a forensics mindset in such instances, trying to get as close as possible to the "truth", so as to avoid future similar defects and improve system reliability. I do agree that some people prefer to manufacture truth. Any advice on how to get along with these?
I guess it's part of growing up when there's no longer any living memory of war on your soil.

Because they simply do not care, and won't put any resources in policing the chrome store. I mean, just look at all the Chrome extensions owned by companies that track all the websites you visit and sell it to marketers in the past 10-15 years (Exhibit #1: SimilarWeb). Google doesn't care. It's that simple.

In Shockley's case we have the benefit of seeing his whole life, from end to end. If for example a person loses a job, that could be a fluke; that could be due to anything. I would draw next to no conclusions from a person losing a job one time. But if we can see their whole career at a glance, and notice that person was fired 15 times in 40 years, that's a pattern. We can say that's out of the ordinary, that doesn't happen to the average working person. The record speaks for itself: this person must have had some quality that made his employers want to fire him.

Shockley was like this. Repeatedly in his life we see this pattern of people scrambling to get away from working with, or under, him. It's unusual for people to dislike someone that much: that's not common. If it was one anonymous guy over his whole career lodging a complaint, we might ignore it. But so many people voted to not be around Shockley, with their feet and with their employment. That's not common for a scientist, Democrat, Republican, entrepreneur, or anyone really: there must have been some unpleasant quality about Shockley that made people not want to be around him, as this pattern repeated over his whole life shows.
That's a cool idea and I think a fair argument. I learned a lot from watching Ben Eater on YouTube, he manages to explain (and demonstrate!) how CPUs and many other components work really well.

Completely agree, it made it hard to continue reading, and to take the author seriously. I wonder if they write their papers the same way.

That's probably the benefit of you not being 24/7 glued to the broadcast system called social media. I imagine in the 70s you spent your time mostly with friends in real life, and geopolitics was just 10 easily missable minutes on TV every evening.

Sure maybe there's a minority of kids with social media/smartphone bans nowadays, but they're probably as plentiful as 13 year olds interested in geopolitics in the 1970s.

I browse Instagram's TikTok clone ("Reels") when idle, it's rather dull, when that hurricane hit a few weeks ago, the stories were all about that, a few days later it was forgotten. Obviously, lately it's been about Luigi Mangione...
I think it's a ridiculous claim that he tried for two hours and gave up so it's impossible, but it does tell you something that it's Jamie Oliver and not just anybody. His first job was pastry chef at Antonio Carluccio's Italian restaurant. He was mentored by Italian chef Gennaro Contaldo, also friends with and business partners - their joint high-street restaurant chain was Jamie's Italian. He did a TV show Jamie's Great Italian Escape of him touring Italy, and ten years later a one-off Jamie's Italian Christmas, and with Contaldo they did the show Jamie Cooks Italy. He's been awarded the Order of the Star of Italy, as chef and restauranteur.

That is, he's pretty familiar with Italian cuisine and making pasta compared to a random average person / cook or chef who hasn't specialised in it.
That seems like a local from your PoV thing.

That overwhelming majority of people I know that have been doing WFH on and off for a decade work regular hours and spend the remainder (time otherwise commuting) socialising (outside the house), sports, gardening, building projects, etc.

IRL AFK at least - the 24/7 gamers and shutin's likely have a different world view, but they appear to be in a minoity albeit one perhaps growing.
Historically that has been the case for for Sweden as well I think. Every older apartment building I've lived in (built before 1990-ish) has had bunkers in the basement, and usually it seems to be sized for more than just the buildings residents (although it is repurposed for storage these days). Thick steel doors and all the other tell-tales of old civilian bunkers.

I'm guessing other European countries did this too.

> I have found that people generally understand the value of friendship and are welcoming to newcomers

I feel like there's a curve where in college people are super open to making friends until mid-late 20s where friend groups are well established/people are focused on their careers and then people are more open to making friends again in mid 30s where people lose touch with old friends and are looking to make new ones (either through kids or other shared activities).
Watching every single thing on Netflix is also literally impossible, and it doesn't cost $2,500 to try.
Wikipedia says that “ultra-black” is a transmittance below 0.5%. I think “ultra-black” is a meaningless term used purely for hype. And not an indication of a serious scientific background for the person who wrote the article.
For myself, the code is the journey. There are times though when I'm not fully invested in the problem, that I really just want to skip that part.
Agreed. I built a big friend group in a short time in my city just by going to the same club every weekend.

There’s a second part to this though. You have to put in some effort to break people out of “club friend” into “real life friend.” Make plans and invite them.
Yes, the problem with market timing is it requires two decisions that for the marginal investor are inconsistent. That's why people who sell at a high fail to reenter at a low, and also why people who stay invested at the high remain fully invested long after prices revert to a much lower level.

This suggests the answer is... fundamental analysis, which neither camp is doing.....

How many large applications are made with no dependencies or frameworks?

In another life, I worked on a SaaS app around railroad car repair billing.

These are the industry requirements.

https://public.railinc.com/sites/default/files/documents/CRB...

And this doesn’t include addendums, regulation updates, industry norms, extra requirements by clients etc

No matter how well structured the codebase is, it will become large and had a lot of classes.

Not to mention the underlying .Net framework

Have you worked with either the iOS or Android SDK? Do you expect people to know that entire SDK and a sufficient large codebase?

Autocompleting IDEs are not a new concept. It’s been part of Visual Studio since the mid 1990s.
I don't use most of these features other than go to definition. I find popups deeply annoying. I've tried using other features such as autocomplete but I've never found it very useful. I think it's due to the type of work I do. I rarely write lots of new code and instead spend most of my time debugging existing code and making relatively small changes. Go to definition seems to be the only navigation feature I find useful. However, I use a debugger almost continuously to monitor the state of running code and I have a similar question as you for all the developers that never use a debugger - that seems weird to me now.
Much like how you can't convince a businessman to understand something when his salary depends on him not understanding it, it's next to impossible to "find out" a mystery if the powers-that-be do not want that and/or want a more desirable-for-them conclusion.

I am not sure about her formal credentials, but she’s doing a very thorough job. I could not find a flaw in her explanations involving my field (materials science broadly, and failure mechanics in particular), which is more than I can say of the vast majority of people writing on STEM subjects. I don’t think she has any formal training in the field, but she seems to be talking to the right experts and extracting the right information.

I believe she used to be a pilot.
> OpenAI grants you ownership of output

That’s only meaningful if it’s legally established that the ownership of the output was theirs to grant in the first place. There’s no law directly on point and precious few legal decisions in this area, so it’s still very much an open question.

If you put a human in an environment with 20% of sea level pressure, and feed them 20% sea level pressure air, they will suffocate.

If you were to somehow feed them 100% sea level pressure air through a perfectly sealed mask, they will be unable to exhale and/or get some kind of fatal side effects (burst lungs or air bubbles making it into the blood stream). So you have to feed the breathing gas at the surrounding pressure.

If, however, you give them 100% oxygen at 20% sea level pressure, they will be able to happily breathe it as if it was regular air with 20% oxygen near sea level, at least until you introduce an ignition source. What matters physiologically is the partial pressure (pressure multiplied by fraction).

(Likewise, if you give someone 100% oxygen at sea level pressure for a short time, they'll be fine. Do the same at more than twice sea level pressure, e.g. while diving, and the oxygen becomes fatally toxic.)
Not just the paragraphs, every sentence.
The way I use LLMs a lot of the time is to simply let copilot complete the method parameters that I was already planning on typing or autocompleting the fields of a struct. It's barely a step over LSP/autocomplete tools but because LLMs have access to more context and aren't restricted by the things they can autocomplete, they work in more scenarios. LLMs get things wrong occasionally but it's usually easy to catch and LSPs can fix those errors.

> but to observe a bygone era where fun was permitted for a single season

That is not quite fair. Fun is permitted. There are plenty of funfairs and similar thril rides everywhere. They are both widely available, cheap, and by and large reasonably safe.

Just whoever decided to hold this exhibition didn’t let people ride these particular rides. We can only speculate why. Probably a combination of wishing to not let the pieces be damaged, and not willing to go through the process of satisfying modern safety standards.

I’m sure that there are wider societal conclusions we can draw from that, but “bygone era where fun was permitted” is not one of them.
Newer fancy things like code completion are a little faster, but the thing I care about most in my IDE is if I can command+click for type definitions.

For example, writing Python scripts for Fusion 360 modeling is almost impossible if you aren't able to find all the methods and type definitions as Autodesk's documentation is pretty terrible and doesn't list most methods.

If your IDE doesn't have type definition support, being productive with certain APIs with terrible documentation is impossible.

If it's all vanilla code, then this isn't as much of a problem. So the need for better IDEs comes with more complex code.
After 40+ years of programming, you tend to retain some things. I started out in 1984, so that means in 40 years, "me" of today will be in the year 2064. I cannot fathom what coding will be like then. But if I compare today vs. when I started, there are remarkably few differences. GDB has been my debugger for decades. The IDEs are better, but the UNIX CLI is still essentially the same. Bells and whistles don't help you solve problems, they just give you something to tinker with in between the real ideas, IMHO.
My first question "What is the meaning of life" (don't give me answer as "42")
If Ukraine's fighting back include indiscriminate bombing of the majority of Russian cities, cutting off their water and food supplies (letting Ukrainian civilians attack aide trucks), then, we'd have more equivalence in your ridiculously simplistic logic.
If I recall correctly, the big gripe about them at the time was understanding all of the situations in which pointers can be used outside of simply accessing data, like setting one pointer to another one and doing pointer math with char-arrays (i.e. setting one variable's memory address to another). Like another poster said, much of this is unique to C and C++ without smart pointers.
I don't see why Elon should be in the category of strong men created by hard times who produce good times. It seems like all he did was fail upwards until he was rich enough to provide funding to, yes, some good projects. But nothing he's actually had a direct hand has really been successful.

If anything, now that he's (seemingly) an incompetent president of the US, he's likely to create bad times.
For games stuff, you can go to game stores and competitions. There are book clubs too. The trouble with a lot of these things is that most people don't actually want to make friends who are all about either of those things. They want to make demographically matched friends that are willing to do more than one thing. If your game group is a bunch of 18 year old dorky dudes, and you're in your 30s, you are likely to feel out of place. If you're single and want to date out of your friend group, you might have to broaden your horizons to include stuff that the opposite sex tends to like. You won't be welcome in many of those contexts either.
Some of the friends I have now, in my 50's, are due to them proactively reaching out to me to get together. Had it not been for them making the effort, our friendship, likely, would've never materialized. When meeting new people with whom I think there might be potential for friendship, I now try to be the one who reaches out and suggest meeting up.

You can (usually) stop a train within less than a minute and then trivially evacuate it.

They're also less dense than most other public transport, including planes.

And it's impossible to add security to local transit, because standing for 15 minutes at a security checkpoint for a 15 minute bus ride will make everyone get a car and/or unelect the idiot who implemented that rule.

Right, so since it's the messenger (assertion) that brought news of defeat in battle, you kill the messenger instead of trying to win the next battle.

Your problem is that the entire business seems to hinge on a single point of failure - if the server binary dies, you lose customers. This has nothing to do with what some library does or does not do, it's just a horribly designed system.

That crash should have made you all stop and think real hard about what you're doing because clearly it's not working:

1. Don't write bugs in the first place. No I'm not kidding. Your tests clearly suck so fix them, make sure you do proper PR reviews, make sure to leverage your type system to the fullest, use all available tooling, etc.

2. Design your system be resilient to the server binary dying because I assure you, there's nothing you can do to prevent it from happening for one reason or another.
